after effects TEXT animation presets

[cdelarocha]

Hi, I want to do a simple text animation and I have o plugins on my text - animation presets folder?

I only see NUMBERS AND TIMECODE, were are the rest of the plugins that come with after effects?

Look in the Effects and Presets panel, not in the Effects Menu. Please start here to learn AE: Basic AE

Hi Rick,

Thank you for your help. I am looking in the EFFECTS & PRESETS panel and on the TEXT folder there is only NUMBERS and TIMECODE, there is nothing else showing in the panel, and even when I type TYPEWRITE to see if it comes out, nothing shows is as if I don't have the basic animation plugins in after effects and I don't understand why?

What version of AE? Did you do a custom install? The presets should be there. Your Effects and Presets Panel should look something like this (minus the Custom AE Presets folder at the top - those are all mine).

If you are not seeing this then use the Creative Cloud app to uninstall and then install After Effects again.

This is how mine looks.

I am working with CC after effects 2018 direct download from Adobe

Like I said before, uninstall and re-install using the Creative Cloud app.
